The development of ever new and innovative technologies is now able to significantly enrich the numerous possibilities in the field of research, use, enhancement and understanding of the existing cultural heritage. In this sense, the initiatives in the field of augmented reality and artificial intelligence appear to be a possible asset through which to undertake connection and mixing networks between the intrinsic and extrinsic data that characterize buildings. The use of semantic and ontological data – that is fields based on an increasingly solid interoperability and exchange of data – make it possible to develop a mutual knowledge in a relationship of connection between territory and architecture. This contribution, therefore, investigates the possible application of augmented reality and artificial intelli-gence in the context of Sicilian lighthouses, or a heritage characterized by well-defined architectural and landscape components.
